I'm new to Japanese but not it's mythology so I'd like to hear what others have heard and learned about it. I think Mythology can be the most interesting aspect in any culture, it allows you to see where and what the culture appriciates and grew from in ways of beliefs and behavior.

there really is little point to a thread that just has random people posting random tidbits about random myths. Linking to a good source is good for everyone. Having a bunch of random tidbits will just confuse people.

Exactly. Which is why I posted the URL for a website so that people who are interested can go do some research. We've seen how inaccurate some of people's perceptions can be in that king of all infodump threads, "500 facts."

I just have a dim view of infodumps. They're random, there's no quality control, and they're just messy. That's why I tell people who are interested in a subject to get a book and READ about it, rather than asking people to spoon-feed them isolated factoids.
